pounds. Says he positively believes he
would have died, mad it not been for the re-
lief afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold at

Two Atlantic records have been broken
within the past week. The Cunard
steamer Umbria, which left New York
Saturday, September 3, delivered her
letters in London on Saturday evening.
September 10. The Aller, of the North
German Lloyd feet, left New York at 10
O'Clock on the morning of September z,
and arrived at Southampton at 10 O'Clock
on the evening of September IA, and
delivered her letters in Loudon on the
same evening. These two performances
are without precedent. The Alters pas
sage was seven days, four hours and
twenty five minutes from Sandy Hook to
the Needles, an average speed OF 17.72
miles an hour across the Atlantic, her dis
lance being twenty-five hours greater
than to Queenstown.
During the review OF the military pro-
cession at Philadelphia On last Friday the
Grand Army veterans in passing the Pres
ident's stand, uncovered their heads. This
respect shown the President by those who
have so just cause to complain of his
i'll treatment, is most commendatory. 1t
places the order In an entirely different at
titude toward the President than
that which the democratic press
has claimed for it and is
a singing rebuke to those who have been
engaged in base attacks upon the organ
lzation. But the democratic press and
those who have wronged the Grand Army
boys will even now find in this exhibition
of respect something for further abuse.
Captain Black, the senior counsel for
the condemned Chicago anarchists. an
nounces his purpose of appealing their
case to the Supreme Court of the United
States. If his ingenuity is equal to the
task of finding some ground which will
warrant the federal courts taking juris-
diction of the case, he may succeed in
prolonging the lives of his clients a few
months. Their execution is now set
down for the 18th of November. A cap
ital case would doubtless be given prece-
dence in the Supreme Court, so that an
appeal to that body would be reached
comparatively early.
With this issue of the Journal, Mr..
Walter A. Newcombe closes his labors as
local editor. He has occupied this posi-
ton for several years and has during that
time, shown himself to be a dilligent,
persevering and efficient man in his de-
partment. The Journal wishes him, as
he goes from it, success in whatever he
may undertake.
Tennessee is now actively engaged in
discussing the prohibition question, and
the contest is for the most part carried on
without reference TO the party lines. 1t is
contest of the people, the politicians
finding little prominence in it, and the
result will therefore be a fair expression
of the popular preference on the subject.

The latest scheme to swindle the farmers.
says the Bddeford Times, is being perpetrat
ed under the guise of a so called society to
prevent the killing of birds. A man Invades
the rural home, talks gibly about the good
being done for the farmer by the birds, and
ends by asking him to sign pledge, not to
kill bird for year, which with little ms
nipulation turns up in the shape of promis-
sorry note, and makes trouble. The safe rule
is to sign no paper, however innocent sp-
pearing, for any stranger.

In Abilene, town of about 5000
people, only eight sales of liquor were
reported during the first day by the nine
drug stores. At one store where, be-
fore the passage of the present law, an
ordinary days sales aggregated from
seventy to one hundred, only two sales
were made, and the diseases for which
the purchased whisky was to be used
were ''chillS'' and colds"

pie, only few sales were made and the
law was generally observed.

A Giant Chestnut's Mysterious De-
post.

On the sfarm of John Guinther, in
Rockland township, Berks county, Pa.
says the Allentown Democrat, chest
nut tree was recently cut down which
for size is probably not excelled by any
other tree of its kind in the state. 1t
measured S03 feet in circumference. 10
feet , inches acloss the butt, and yield.
ed II cords of fire wood. It was solid
to the core, yet, and only last season a
crop of about 8! bushels of chestnuts
was secured from it. The concentric
rings in the wood were plainly marked,
and possessing AN enquiring mind the
owner counted them. and this estab-
lished the fact that the tree sprung I'D
from the parent chestnut about $50
years ago. The most remarkable fact
in connection with the old forest
monarch, however, was the discovery.
In splitting it up, of a small, hollow
metal tube solidly imbeded in the wood
eli the trunk about three feet inward
from the outer surface and which upon
examination was found to contain a
strip Of paper on which was written
with ink, in German, Johann Jacob
Georg Walter, Tubingen, Kingdom of
Wurtemberg, Ammo 1906" The sup
position is that the tube was for some
purpose hid in the tree
when of ordinary size, by boring into it
with an augur, and then plugged up,
and that afterwards the puncture was
grown over and the foreign matter thus
shut out frem observation.
